According to Tinubu, “We may not yet be where we aspire to be, but I urge all Nigerians not to lose hope.” He acknowledged the difficulties Nigerians had encountered but urged them to maintain optimism. He gave them the reassurance that the nation is embarking on a new period of prosperity and hope, and that the worst days are behind them.
“We made a commitment two years ago to us that we would usher in a new period of prosperity and hope. Even while the path has not been straightforward and some have questioned our course, Tinubu stated that the perseverance of leaders in the public and private sectors, as well as the unwavering support of the majority of Nigerians, is producing results.
With important economic indicators showing progress, the President underlined that the reforms are gathering momentum and encouraged Nigerians to be optimistic and persistent. Additionally, especially during this season, he urged Nigerians to look out for each other’s health.
Regardless of ethnicity or religion, Eid-el-Kabir encourages love, compassion, and giving for everyone. In reference to the recent flooding in Mokwa, Niger State, Tinubu remarked, “Let us look out for each other’s health this season and always.” He also urged Nigerians to work with the government to provide relief to those in need.
Finally, he said, “May the joy and blessings of Eid-ul-Adha multiply in our lives and the life of our great nation,” and prayed for Nigeria’s leaders, front-line officers, peace, and prosperity.
Love should be shared.
